Welcome to PC. Sorry no one has responded to this yet; I hope you're still with us.

I haven't taken that particular med but I can relate to not enjoying the trial of new ones. I am especially sensitive to medications and have had them run the gamut from no change at all to hospitalization, from the side effects alone. SSRI's are especially out of the question for me.
I hope the medication is going well or, if not, you have found something effective. All the best.

And thanks for writing your book for us to read.
